We're privileged to be part of our community on the Cornish coast, which is just one reason why we're committed to conserving our surrounding landscape while providing opportunities for our friends, families and neighbours. To help us minimise the impact our operations have, we've taken the following steps:
- We operate a water-saving policy throughout the hotel.
- Paper waste, cardboard and glass bottles are all recycled, as is our organic waste oil.
- We have a hotel herb garden, which supplies ingredients for our kitchen throughout the year.
- We reduce our food miles and support local businesses wherever possible by purchasing local products.
- Energy-saving bulbs are used throughout the hotel.
- Hotel bedrooms feature bespoke beds and furniture made from sustainably managed or British-grown wood.
- We’ve thought carefully about the environment when sourcing items for the hotel: blankets for the terrace are made from recycled wool, and children’s tableware is organic bamboo, recycled from the waste created in the production of chopsticks.
- We encourage children to be interested in, and to talk about, sustainability and plastic pollution through the work of local artist, Stephanie Tudor.
- We employ many local people from Fowey and the surrounding areas. We encourage staff to car share wherever possible – some even take the ferry!
- We recommend days out that don’t require a car.
- We support community events.
- The hotel has 90% fuel-efficient boilers.
- We have a POD electric-car charger onsite.
